SOLVED Schedule An Immediate Check - I have rtfm and stfw no help

[Armin Irger]

At the first time i changed the permissions by hand, but after a restart
from nagios the problem appears because.

1. After the restart from nagios he creates the nagios.cmd like this.

prw-rw----    1 nagios   nagios          0 Feb  7 17:11 nagios.cmd

2. The apache runs under nobody and if you follow the installation
descriped on the "External Command File Permission" you add nobody to
the nagiocmd group, and with the chown nagios.nagiocmd you give the
rw-rights to the nagiocmd group. 
The apache can access the nagios/var/rw directory but he can't access
the nagios.cmd, which is regenerated by a every restart of nagios,
because nagios creates the nagios.cmd like above. 

3. I make a chgrp nagios.nagios to the nagios/var/rw directory and added
nobody back do the nagios group with usermod -G nagios nobody. 

4. After every reboot nagios starts in the right way.
